The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) Summer School is an intensive program which has been organised for 10 years now by the EPA Committee on Education and allows selected psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists (ECPs) from all over Europe to meet, network, and learn together. After the 2020 edition being cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition continued the EPA educational mission in an innovative and up-to-date approach.
This was the first time EPA Summer School centered its topic on Research in Psychiatry, giving a unique opportunity for ECPs and psychiatric trainees to enrich their knowledge and skills and to find inspiration for their future research. The well-planned learning experience had the role of bolstering their odds to develop successful careers as researchers, since it is challenging to foresee such a career without developing extraordinary research expertise, and also of facilitating the development of collaborative international research studies.
Moreover, this year’s setting was different from any previous one. For the first time, the EPA Summer School was held not face-to-face but online. Even though at first this setting seemed to imply a loss of quality, due to the lack of in-person social interaction, it soon became apparent that it was not as inconvenient as expected and rather implied some advantages. First of all, using the Zoom platform, which allows splitting meetings into breakout rooms, enabled the possibility to discuss in small groups and allowed us to interact more closely with some of the participants, making it easier to get to know each other, despite the physical distance…

Abstract

English

The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) Summer School is an intensive program which has been organised for 10 years now by the EPA Committee on Education and allows selected psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists (ECPs) from all over Europe to meet, network, and learn together. After the 2020 edition being cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition was held online and continued the EPA educational mission in an innovative and up-to-date approach.
Twenty one participants from 16 different countries were selected to attend by the EPA Committee on Education. During the two full days of training, participants were engaged in fundamental educational activities by renowned faculty members such as Dr. Cécile Hanon, Dr. Nicolas Hoertel, Dr. Mariana Pinto da Costa, Prof. Andrea Raballo, Prof. Norman Sartorius and Prof. Peter Falkai.
This was the first time EPA Summer School centered its topic on Research in Psychiatry, giving a unique opportunity for ECPs and psychiatric trainees to enrich their knowledge and skills and to find inspiration for their future research. In this paper, we intend to share our experience and provide a perspective on what we have learned during the EPA Summer School sessions.

10e université d’été de l’EPA sur la recherche 2021 : partage de l’expérience de la première édition en ligne

L’université d’été de l’Association européenne de psychiatrie (EPA) est un programme intensif organisé depuis 10 ans par le Comité de l’éducation de l’EPA et permet à des stagiaires en psychiatrie et à des psychiatres en début de carrière (ECP) sélectionnés dans toute l’Europe de se rencontrer, de créer des réseaux et d’apprendre ensemble. Après l’annulation de l’édition 2020 en raison de la pandémie de Covid-19, l’édition 2021 s’est tenue en ligne et a poursuivi la mission éducative de l’EPA dans une approche innovante et actualisée.
Vingt-et-un participants de 16 pays différents ont été sélectionnés par le comité d’éducation de l’EPA. Pendant les deux jours de formation, les participants ont participé à des activités éducatives fondamentales dispensées par des professeurs renommés tels que le Dr Cécile Hanon, le Dr Nicolas Hoertel, le Dr Mariana Pinto da Costa, le Pr Andrea Raballo, le Pr Norman Sartorius et le Pr Peter Falkai.
C’était la première fois que l’école d’été de l’EPA centrait son sujet sur la recherche en psychiatrie, donnant ainsi une occasion unique aux ECP et aux stagiaires en psychiatrie d’enrichir leurs connaissances et leurs compétences et de trouver une inspiration pour leurs futures recherches. Dans cet article, nous avons l’intention de partager notre expérience et de fournir une perspective sur ce que nous avons appris pendant les sessions de l’école d’été de l’EPA.

La Escuela de Verano de la Asociación Europea de Psiquiatría (EPA) es un programa intensivo organizado durante los últimos 10 años por el Comité de Educación de la EPA y permite a los estudiantes de psiquiatría y a los psiquiatras que inician su carrera profesional (ECP) seleccionados de toda Europa que se encuentren, se relacionen y aprendan juntos. Tras la cancelación de la edición de 2020 debido a la pandemia de la COVID-19, la edición de 2021 se celebró en línea y continuó la misión educativa de la EPA con un enfoque innovador y actualizado.
El Comité de Educación de la EPA seleccionó a 21 participantes de 16 países diferentes. Durante los dos días de formación, los participantes tomaron parte en actividades educativas fundamentales impartidas por profesores de renombre como la Dra. Cécile Hanon, el Dr. Nicolas Hoertel, la Dra. Mariana Pinto da Costa, el Prof. Andrea Raballo, el Prof. Norman Sartorius y el Prof. Peter Falkai.
Esta era la primera vez que la escuela de verano de la EPA se centraba en la investigación en psiquiatría, proporcionando así una oportunidad única para que los PCT y los candidatos a la formación en psiquiatría enriquecieran sus conocimientos y habilidades y encontraran inspiración para sus futuras investigaciones. En este artículo pretendemos compartir nuestra experiencia y ofrecer una perspectiva de lo que hemos aprendido durante las sesiones de la escuela de verano de la EPA.
